"Of course."
Tang Thirty-Six couldn't see the slightest bit of frustration on his face, and said, "Have you noticed that although no one came forward, more and more people came to see us?"
Xuanyuan Po was very hard from the heat, panting heavily, he said, "What's the benefit if the whole capital comes to see our jokes?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng couldn't help laughing.
"What a stupid bear." Tang Thirty-Six said to Chen Changsheng: "Look carefully at the crowd, are there many people who are younger and have brighter eyes than those who came to see the excitement before?"
Chen Changsheng looked at the crowd and found that it was really the case. There were many young people among the people who came to the Orthodox Academy to watch the excitement today.
"They didn't come to see the fun..." Tang Thirty-Six glanced at Xuanyuan Po, and said, "They didn't come to see the jokes, they just came to see us."
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled and asked, "Do you mean that they are really considering whether to apply for the exam?"
"That's right." Tang Thirty-Six glanced at the teahouse not far away, then at the contemptuous Tianhai masters around the crowd, and said, "Everyone has forgotten one thing. The preparatory exam for the Great Imperial Examination is the most recent one, and the next one is the Ivy Banquet. The most people in Kyoto now are young students, who have successfully washed their marrow? Don’t take too much time!"
Chen Changsheng thought of the young students he and Luoluo had seen on the street before and after the preparatory exam for the Dachao Examination last year, and understood why Tang Sanshiliu always maintained his confidence.
Those young students from other counties or even the south don't have the same academic background as the students from the Sixth Ivy Academy, so the overall standard is a lot worse, but it doesn't mean that their talents are bad. In fact, every year after the preparatory examination for the Imperial Examination and the Ivy Banquet, many students from other counties and prefectures will be recruited by the Sixth Ivy Academy. And these young students, of course, also hope to be able to enter the Sixth Academy of the Ivy League, learn the truly advanced cultivation methods, follow the famous teachers, and gain a strong academy background.
The Orthodox Academy is also one of the Sixth Academy of the Ivy League, so it must be attractive to students from other counties and prefectures.
"But... why didn't they come forward to sign up, and didn't even ask?"
Chen Changsheng looked at a young man with a childish face and a little nervous in the crowd, and asked puzzledly.
"Please, today... no, this summer, the Orthodox Academy will be the focus of the entire capital. These poor country children, who have the courage to stand up, need someone to help push them."
"Well... when I came to Kyoto last year, I was also a country boy."
"The first thing you did when you entered the capital was to go to the East Royal God General's Mansion to retire. Don't you think that anyone would be as thick-skinned and courageous as you?"
At this moment, Tang Thirty-Six noticed that the eyes of the young people in the crowd gradually became anxious and struggling, and he became more confident in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The fire is here."
The area of the parasol was not big enough, and the inkstone in front of the table was scorching hot. When Xuanyuan Po moved it, his fingers were a little red, swollen and painful. Listening to Tang Thirty-Six's words, he thought he was laughing at himself again. He said something stupid like braised bear's paw, and was about to raise his fist to reason with him, but he was suddenly taken aback.
With a bang, Tang Thirty-Six jumped onto the table.
The wind picked up and the umbrellas were lifted.
The crowd was suddenly quiet, no one was talking anymore, looking at the entrance of the Orthodox Academy, looking at Tang Thirty-Six standing on the table, thinking what is this going to do? At this time, the sun was falling on him, the precious gold-painted robe fluttered in the wind, the Wenshui sword on his waist was shining brightly, and the jade pendants on his belt, and the jade pendants on his wrists were even brighter. gold bracelets.
Chen Changsheng looked over and felt that his eyes were about to go blind. Only then did he understand why he had to make such a suit for himself in the morning, and then he understood what the so-called signboard meant.
"I said, we are all young people, do we need to be so shy? If you want to come, come here quickly! Time is waiting for you! Friends!"
Tang Thirty-Six stood on the table, condescendingly, watching the young people in the crowd shouting enthusiastically.
Chen Changsheng felt so ashamed, and wished he could get his head under the table. He probably understood why the Tang family in Wenshui became the richest place in the mainland.
The crowd was quiet at first, then burst into laughter.
After a while, a spectator shouted from the crowd: "Why did you apply for your Orthodox Academy?"
Not only was Tang Thirty-Six not displeased, he was very happy on the contrary. He thought that he forgot to ask Tianxiangfang to send a few professionals to come over yesterday. Who would have thought that a spontaneous one would appear, and said in a clear voice: "Although the preparatory exam for the Great Court Exam The delay, but it is imminent, only the last few days are left, don't you want to advance by leaps and bounds, don't you want to show off your brilliance at the Ivy Banquet?"
A dark-faced young student who might be from a private acquaintance in the countryside boldly asked, "We can apply for other colleges."
In other words, apart from the most famous Ivy Sixth Academy, there are countless academies in Kyoto.
Tang Sanshiliu looked at the young student from the countryside, and said sarcastically, "How do you compare those academies with my country's education academies?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone, whether they were watching the fun or watching the jokes, nodded their heads, thinking that even though the Orthodox Academy had been in decline, since it reopened, it cannot be compared with ordinary colleges. Then someone asked: "Then why can't we enter the other five houses?"
"Usually, the Ivy Academy will only make up admissions after the preparatory exams are over. Only...everyone heard clearly...Only our Orthodox Academy will enroll new students before the preparatory exams!"
Tang Thirty-Six took out a folding fan out of nowhere, shook it and said, "If you can't even pass the preparatory exam, which college will accept you? After all, it's safest to apply for our Orthodox College .”
"We don't want to be on the safe side." A young student who looked a little calm shook his head and said, "Since we have come to Kyoto from a long distance, we are of course prepared to pass through thousands of troops. We would rather go to other exams after the preparatory exam is over College."
Obviously, this young student has certain confidence in his strength and academic ability.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at the man and asked, "How old are you this year?"
The young student replied: "This year there are four out of twenty."
"That's still a young man, why doesn't he have the edge of a young man?"
Looking at the young student, Tang Thirty-Six raised his eyebrows slightly and said with disdain.
The young student wanted to argue a few words, but Tang Thirty-Six did not give him another chance. He looked at the crowd and said, "Why do you all have to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy? Just because His Majesty the Pope came from the Heavenly Dao Academy? Why do you have to enter the sect?" The shrine and the attached courtyard of the Palace? Just because it is closer to His Majesty the Pope and his old man? Why do you have to enter the Thirteenth Division of Qingyu? Just because there are many beautiful senior sisters there?"
Hearing his words, the crowd burst into laughter.
"If you insist on entering the Star Reaching Academy, I have no opinion, only blessings and admiration, but if you originally wanted to enter those houses..." Tang Thirty-Six closed his folding fan, slapped a dozen on his palm, and looked at the crowd Proudly said: "Then why don't you choose my country's education college? Gentlemen! We are all young, fresh and bright, unconventional, and do not take the usual path. Why don't you come to participate in this grand event? Besides, how can those few compare with my country's education institute?"
The young student felt as if the folding fan had knocked on his heart, subconsciously took it seriously, and actually listened to the words completely, and even felt that they made sense.
Folk students from the counties and villages or even the far south have only heard some rumors about the courtyards in Kyoto, and don't know the difference between them, so they don't think there is anything special about Tang Thirty-Six's words, but for the pergola For the former experts of the Tianhai family and many officials and dignitaries in the carriage, these words were particularly harsh.
The Temple of Heaven, the Zongsi Institute, the Affiliated Courtyard of the Li Palace, and the Thirteen Divisions of the Qing Dynasty... Are they not as good as the Orthodox Academy? You must know that the dozens of cultivators who are going to challenge the Orthodox Academy today are basically from these four academies. Even Bie Tianxin, who has never shown up, has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Affiliated Academy of Li Palace, although he has an extraordinary family background.
Mao Qiuyu and Taoist Siyuan in the teahouse couldn't help frowning. Taoist Siyuan was also from the Affiliated Courtyard of the Li Palace, and Mao Qiuyu was a student first, then a teacher and then the dean in the Tiandao Courtyard for hundreds of years all in between. How could they admit Tang Thirty-Six's statement.
Sure enough, an extremely angry questioning voice sounded from the crowd: "Why do you say that?"
Tang Thirty-Six didn't even look at that person, and continued: "His Majesty the Pope is indeed from the Tiandaoyuan, and the attached courtyard and ancestral hall of the Li Palace are indeed located in the Li Palace, but you must be clear, the dean of our Orthodox Academy is called Chen Changsheng. … You may not be able to see His Excellency the Pope if you spend your whole life studying in the attached courtyard of the Li Palace and the Ancestral Shrine, but what if you enter the Orthodox Academy?"
He stopped at this point, smiled without saying a word, and seemed quite meaningful.
Everyone knows the Pope's attitude towards Chen Changsheng.
Many young students looked at each other and began to discuss in low voices, seeming a little moved.
"Let's put it more directly... everyone, please look at this mountain-like kid, his name is Xuanyuan Po, and he is an ordinary boy from the Bear Clan in the Demon Realm."
Tang Thirty-Six pointed at Xuanyuan Po with a folding fan and said: "If you say that you have no talent, if you say that you have no skills, if you want to have no background, you can say that you have no background, you can say that you don't have any background, even he himself feels so ashamed, so that he does it on his own. I dropped out of Star Reaching Academy, and then... was picked up from the night market by Chen Changsheng and His Royal Highness Luo Luo, what happened?"
The crowd fell silent.
He was very satisfied with the effect, and continued: "What's the result? He entered the Orthodox Academy, but his injuries didn't heal, and he didn't take part in the imperial examination, so Tianji Pavilion ranked him in the Qingyun list!"
Hearing these words, those young students from other counties looked at Xuanyuan Po behind the table thoughtfully, and became even more moved.
Many people know about this matter, and it is indeed very convincing. It seems that the Orthodox Academy is really a place that turns stones into gold
